AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION / AMERICAN ACCENT TRAINING / HOW TO PRONOUNCE - ING, - INK, - ANG and - ANK 

Yea

What is well - educated teacher? It sounds controversial and it is! By the way. There are American English dictionaries. By the way, Kevin looks like very proud and arrogant! I don't like him

​@@angelmatematico45then nobody makes you watch his vids

@@angelmatematico45 it’s a good marker if you think Kevin is arrogant 😅

@@angelmatematico45 Such people are needed. You don't get it. Actually, if you go to ANY dictionary online, I'll see two types of pronunciation, click on US version and you'll hear for yourself, that Kevin is right.

​@@mariashevyrova3730 what do you mean by "marker" man ?. thanks for the answer pal.

Thank you for supporting our channel. We really appreciate it.

@@mrmememe777 thank you guys! You are awesome!

Well, that comment is coherent, it's got a lot of sense, 'cause dictionaries weren't made for nothing, the fact that people speak their language the way they want, doesn't mean that dictionaries are wrong 'cause they're part of the primary sources.

How careful you are not to mention what English your friend speaks. Is it American English? In every american movie you can clearly hear how they, American actors, pronounce the words the way Kevin and Rachel say. Sounds like your friend is somewhat special, from the UK or not from this planet. Chrismas is coming, invite her to the cinema, I mean to the movies ;)

How come they confuse?

Yes

@@jaxxon98what is the difference?

Slang( sleing) slaying (slei ying)

Good question!

Animal = / 'anəməl /, I think the first one is "a" sound and there are 2 schwas. an = /an/ it's the same. can't = it's got a little pause to differentiate it from positive form, I mean, "can" but the pronunciation is the same except for that little pause I.mentioned above, that's to say: - can = / kan /. - can't = / kant / (the "t" is almost NOT pronounced, it's just the little pause that makes the difference, if it weren't for that little fact the two words would have the exact same pronunciation) I'd say that there's no "ei" sound in any of those words. But I can be wrong.

The same pronunciation

You just made half way. Click US pronunciation there online to complete your journey. You'll be surprised.

Webster is American

@@pashu16af Yep, he said "dictionaries are wrong" but they show The UK English so why they're wrong

​@@vladimirbaloyan440 Dictionaries are wrong, because they still use incorrect transcription and at the same time they use correct pronunciation online. They don't show UK English only, where did you get it from? There is alway an indication wether a word or phrase is used in Australia or America, for inctance. You see the point is that you can go to ANY online dictionary and listen to US and UK pronunciations of the word 'bank' and you'll be surprised. There should be a public call at least to re-write the transcription even in Webster Dictionary. The process of updating transcription is not that easy, so dictionaries stay incorrect in this part.

Oh, c'mon stop it. Go to ANY online English dictionary, click US pronunciation and hear for yourself. You'll be surprised. Don't be dillusioned.

@@pashu16afyour comment shows that you missed both the point of the video and my comment

>However a lot of Americans do tend to make /æ/ somewhat close to /ei/ when the "a" letter is followed by sounds /m/, /n/, /ŋ/ like in damn, man, anger. This sound you're talking about is /eə/ the sound in damn and man is the same. but anger is different. we use the long A. as in "tape". >does the sound in the words "cranky" and "maid" sound identical to you? yes, the vowel sound in "cranky" and "maid" sounds identical. it's the same phoneme. while it's possible the final consonant affects the quality of the preceding sound slightly, we can still clearly hear a long A sound in both and so that's what should get transcribed as the pronunciation. we see the same thing happening in other words. like for example "bat" and "bad" where the final voiced consonant "lengthens" the vowel sound (the A in bad is longer than in bat due to the final D). surely you're not suggesting we should transcribe /a/ in bat and /a/ in bad differently? >But nobody calls these sounds long, it's just wrong, they're diphthongs, it's different. that's not true. little kids in america learn the short vs long distinction in school. and we have assignments where we sort words into long vs short versions of each vowel. we know it doesn't mean the sound is said longer. it's just a label for the sound. here is how it works: long A => tape. short A => tap. long E => beet. short E => bet. Long I => bite. short I => bit. long O => note. short O => not. long U => cute. short U => cut. Kevin+Liza are just trying to teach esl learners the familiar vowel sound classification that we use for children in america. this system works for young kids who are learning to write and spell. it helps a lot. it's not a bad system. it should be just fine for ESL learners as well. "diphthong" on the other hand is a very obscure and technical (maybe even academic) term. and only people passionate about linguistics and phonetics would know of it. the average native speaker wouldn't know what a diphthong was. so it makes sense EFE would avoid that language, since their goal is to get students/viewers to assimilate real life everyday english, not get bogged down in details and conventions used only by a few academic niches. you see that they similarly don't overly rely on the IPA and go for phonetic respellings instead. because that's what's more natural and universally understood by americans.

Absolutely!

No, c'mon. What's wrong with you guys. Go to ANY online dictionary, find the word and click US pronunciation and you'll be surprised. To be more sure compare it to the UK pronunciation
